Many times, while listening to music, I imagine up my own story to go with the words of the song. It's a good way to let my imagination run free while enjoying someone else's creation. This is another reason why I love music so much. Creative writing comes in many forms and I believe that song writers and authors share a lot in common when it comes to creative writing. We both experience something, whether it be a feeling or emotion, or a new experience, and we put it to paper.
I thought it would be a fun experiment to write my own short stories based on songs I listen to. Since music is one of my outlets, why not combine it with my writing (since I can't play an instrument for the life of me to create my own music). Below is my first (very)short story brought to life by one of my interpretations of the lyrics from one of my favorite artists, Florence & The Machine, Shake It Out. I've posted the video for reference. Hope you like it :)
